What are the important privacy issues?

Identity theft is a growth industry. Protecting visitor privacy on web sites that potential customers visit, is critical to building a successful website. Be cautious about links to questionable web sites. Understanding privacy issues is extremely important, if you are considering building an e-business web site.

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share basic common themes. Privacy is sometimes related to anonymity, the wish to remain unnoticed or unidentified in the public realm. When something is private to a person, it usually means there is something within them that is considered inherently special or personally sensitive. The degree to which private information is exposed therefore depends on how the public will receive this information, which differs between places and over time. Privacy can be seen as an aspect of security - one in which trade-offs between the interests of one group and another can become particularly clear.

We will not retain or respond to any message that we believe was sent by a child (a person not fully responsible for their communications). We reserve the right to reply to the email address in order to notify the parents or responsible party concerning any issues about the message sent from their computer.
